MamaCoca wishes to share with you its specialized
information on coca and its derivatives .
Colombia’s
history is closely linked to coca's struggle for its existence. Cocaine persecution
has
conditioned the Nation's political, rural and social developments.
Coca and cocaine persecution have
underscored
corruption, land-ownership concentration,
poverty, lack of basic in fracture, unsatisfied basic needs, a tradition of
extractivism and contraband and unsustainable environmental policies.
The way back to building lasting peace in Colombia depends on
our knowledge of how the Drug War has fueled
the country's internal
conflict. Following you will find a
documented review of some of the historical moments of coca and
derivatives in Colombia and the lasting social, political and environmental
repercussions of their Prohibition.
Mamacoca is:
MamaCoca
is a Colombian environmental and human rights social organization active
since 1998 and legally consolidated in
France in 2003 under Loi 1901.
MamaCoca, apart from being part of the International Drug-Policy Reform
Movement, is also part of the wide “biodiverse” Colombian Environmental
Movement which has been historically and actively committed to defending a
silent devastated victim of
Colombia’s Drug War: the Nation's’ natural
resources.
The
information posted by MamaCoca seeks to feed the "drug" debate from a
documented and pluralist perspective. Through
our advocacy and information we hope to contribute to fueling research and
informing the design and implementation of public policies geared at
conciliating environmental resiliency and sustainability with legal measures
aimed at reducing coca growers and drug users' vulnerabilities.
MamaCoca is a statement.
